Why do I like teaching at Hindi Gurukul:
Hindi Gurukul is the perfect place for volunteering since I like to work with kids and love the Hindi language. Of course, their wonderfully structured curriculum and a dedicated team of volunteers is a plus!

Sujana Yenumula
I am a Software Automation Test Engineer by profession. Though Telugu is my mother tongue, I first learnt to write Hindi as a 6 year old before learning to write in Telugu. Hindi has always been very dear to me. I have been associated with Hindi Gurukul for 4 years now and I thoroughly enjoy my teaching experience. I am a mother of 2 beautiful kids Aria and Ayush, married to my husband Praveen. A fun fact to share with you all – My 91 year old paternal grandfather is a Hindi Pandit who taught Hindi all his life and has translated a lot of Hindi Books to Telugu and other Indian Languages.

I grew up in Mumbai and came to the US in 2004 to pursue a Masters in Environmental Engineering. I am a trained Carnatic music singer and Bollywood singing has always been my passion! Not only have I been performing on stage since I was a kid, but I was also part of an Indian retro band from 2004-2007! Ever since then, I have always grabbed any opportunity to sing ! I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Hindi Gurukul and do what I enjoy doing the most! Teaching music to these kids has been a delight!

Testimonials
While being a student at Hindi Gurukul for 4 years, I was able to improve on my speaking as well as learn to write and read Hindi. Mastering all these aspects of the language helped me expand my cultural identity and communicate efficiently with my extended family in India. The affable teachers at Hindi Gurukul do an excellent job teaching the 4 basic language skills (listening, speaking, writing, reading) by providing you with assignments and in-class lessons that build your fundamental understanding of these topics.
Deep Sahu
Former Gurukul Student
My Son has been going to Hindi Gurukul for the last 2 years and we are proud to be a part of “HINDI GURUKUL” family. It has been a very nice experience for us . I really appreciate and love their teaching style and methods that makes hindi grammar easy to understand and allows students to speak in a short time. Hindi Gurukul teaching techniques always make my son practice, memorize and learn new Hindi structures every time in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. All the teachers are very experienced and dedicated. Doing online classes is not a problem at all because all classes are designed in such a interesting way. I strongly recommend Hindi Gurukul.
